Is Lille Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

You can go to Lille from Paris by taking a bus or a train. I took a 3h bus and was really quick. One you get there you can walk around and see all main attractions that are closed to the city center. Food is not expensive. You should try les moulles with french fries and the go to have some dessert in a bakery store but not the gouffre cause it's really thing and small that's not worth the price. To finish you can go to the Citadelle a nice park to have some rest and a drink. I would recommend to do this just in a day cause there's no more else to do after that

Group travel

I want to talk about my experience in Lille because it was the first time I was hosted by a girl I had met online. I was with my roommate and our host let us stay for two nights in her place, she was such a lovely person to talk to and we could trust each other completely! I am very grateful for this experience and I hope I can do it again in the future. Lille is a beautiful city with cool architecture and some museums that we really enjoyed. The people are really nice too. I recommend it!

I think It’s correct, i walk alone and it’s okay like 95% of the time, You just have to be a bit careful, depending on the area, and at nightfall (as is the case everywhere, I think?) but Lille is a beautiful city.

Just like any city in France, you're not 100% safe when you're a women. When you walk in the dark you can be worried but in 6 years of being a Lille citizen I've rarely been harrassed or been annoyed in the streets. Maybe because I avoid certain places (bar streets like Solférino, Massena or Esquemoise) and neighborhoods (the trainstation, rue de Béthune, Place de Paris) where you can find a few of homeless persons, who are not aggressive, but as a women you can feel not safe around them.
